Subject: Re: [patch 1/6] md: remove dependency on __GFP_NOFAIL
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:01:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100823130109.6da43a58.akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1008231229410.14622@chino.kir.corp.google.com>
Hows about you add a helper function
void *[kmalloc|alloc_page]_retrying_forever_because_i_suck(lots of args)
then convert the callsites to use that, then nuke __GFP_NOFAIL?
